Submission Guidelines: The Banner welcomes submissions from all members of the mathematics education community, not just MCTM members. All submissions should be relevant, interesting, and useful to teachers of mathematics in Maryland.
Most submissions fit one of these three genres, but other formats are welcome:

• Lesson Seed
  • The basis for a lesson, often includes "student ready" materials.
• Application of Research to Practice
  • Applications of research-based ideas to classroom practice.

To submit a manuscript, please complete the form found here and upload your manuscript when directed to do so. ​​

​Review Process: Manuscripts are sent out to other mathematics educators for anonymous review, and this process often takes several months. If you have questions about the status of your manuscript during this time, please feel free to contact the editor, Christy Graybeal at [email protected].

Photographs: Please note that photographs require signed releases to be published; if your article is accepted, it will be your responsibility to get the appropriate signatures. A sample release form can be found here. Other forms are acceptable.
